I thought the only allowance one needs to make when critiquing lyrics is to factor in the music when suggesting edits that would affect line length, syllable count, repetitions, etc. I don’t write music, so it won’t bother me if I am wrong. But that is my current understanding. If this is not the case, perhaps a discussion that explains in depth what else is involved in a critique of lyrics would be beneficial.
I would go a step further to say it's only a lyric if the author says it is. And anything is a lyric if the author says it is
